Hi all,
Is there a way to get a closed form expression for solution of a heat equation in closed form?
I am trying to compute the heat kernel on a mobius band in a closed form.
Here is my code:
HeatEquation = {D[u[x, y, t], {x, 2}] + D[u[x, y, t], {y, 2}] -
D[u[x, y, t], {t, 1}] == 0, {u[x, y, 0] == DiracDelta[x, y],u[x,y,t]==u[-x,y+pi,t]}}
DSolve[HeatEquation, u[x, y, t], {x, y, t}]
It doesn't simplify or gives me the closed form solution.
>From the forums it seems that DSolve is probably not the correct function to do this computation but I don't know how else to go about it.
Please help.
Thanks,
Andy
